What are bun warmers?This winter, we had several babies who were born on the wire, or single kits. Some were still alive, but very cold, and I tried to find ways to warm them up again to where they would be able to survive. There was no really good way to get them completely warm, quickly, consistantly, and easily. So I decided to come up with a solution. The result is Bun Warmers.

They are made of soft, soft fleece, color/pattern will vary. The top photo shows the small Bun Warmer in my hand, with a baby inside. This size is for dwarf breeds such as Brits, Polish, Lionheads, etc. , and will quickly warm a single kit. The baby is placed into the central pouch, and there is a warming pack placed into separate pouches on either side of him-surrounding him with warmth, without the warming packs actually coming into contact with his skin. This keeps him from being burned, and makes the heat more even and consistant. The other photos show a kit inside the pouch, where he is placed butt-first, with the head facing the opening allowing for plenty of air.

Two types: There are two types of Bun Warmers, the Emergency Warmer, and the Re-heatable Warmer. The Emergency Warmer is designed to be kept in areas without electric service or access to a microwave. They use hand warmer packs to provide warmth and are perfect for bunny barns, cars, shows, etc. They will remain warm for 8-10 hours. The Re-Heatable packs are for use where a microwave oven can be used. These are 100% safe to put into nests even when mom is still there, as there is nothing that is not 100% safe in them. These can be re-heated over and over, and the heater packs from these are ideal to slide into nest boxes with the babies to keep them warm on cold nights. While they don't stay warm as long as the Emergency Packs, it's a very moist, penetrating heat, and safe for nestboxes.

Three Sizes: The Bun Warmers are available in three sizes:Small: for dwarf rabbits-Brits, Polish, Dwarf Hotots, Lionheads, Hollands, etc.Medium: for mid-size rabbits-Mini Satins, Mini Rex, etc.Large: for large breeds, Checkerds, Flemish, English Lops, etc.You can also use the Med. for more than one Dwarf breed, and Large for more than one Mid-size kit. These can also be used for other animals as well--puppies, kittens, ferrets, etc.. Any animal which has young which are at risk if they get over-chilled, can bennifit from the instant, penetrating warmth that Bun Warmersprovide.
